After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 215
Qin Yao filled a basin of warm water, put the little hands of the twins in and washed them clean, and then the family started to eat.

Sanlang was still reluctant to part with it. While eating, he kept looking back at the basin of muddy water at the door of the kitchen. He thought to himself whether he should make the mud dumplings and steamed buns again while his mother was not paying attention.

However, as soon as this dangerous idea came up, Qin Yao's sharp eyes glanced over, and Sanlang quickly turned back and ate seriously.

Recently, every family in the village has shrunk a lot, and the two meals a day of multigrain rice have been replaced by multigrain porridge. The wild vegetables growing on the edge of the fields are cut off as soon as they emerge, and vegetables are relied on to fill the food gap.

I have been here like this before, so I don’t think it’s that difficult. After all, it’s better than the best and more than the worst. There are many people who are more miserable than the villagers of Liujiacun.

In this frugal atmosphere, Qin Yao's family still maintains the previous meal of meat once every three to five days, and the three meals a day are either white rice or millet porridge.

Or use finely ground flour to make pancakes, dumplings, steamed buns and other delicious snacks.

No matter how good Qin Yao's cooking skills are, she can still eat these common meals no matter how many times she cooks them.

In addition, the best ingredients are used. The four Dalang brothers and sisters each have a big bowl of rice, which is full of delicious food.

After dinner, it was the turn of the two students on duty, Da Lang and Si Niang, who took the initiative to clean up the dishes.

Qin Yao touched her bloated belly and was about to lean on the chair to eat when someone came to the door.

"Master Fu!"

Dalang and Si Niang, who were washing dishes in the courtyard, were the first to recognize the person coming and call for them.

Liu Dafu responded with a sigh, smiled at the brother and sister, and then looked towards the main room, "Ms. Qin, did you just eat?"

Qin Yao stood up to greet him and asked him if he had eaten.

Liu Dafu nodded and said he had eaten. He walked into the main room. Qin Yao asked him to sit down and turned to get a cup to pour him water.

"Ms. Qin, you're welcome. I'm not thirsty. Sit down quickly and I'll tell you something."

Qin Yao poured the water, then sat down opposite Liu Dafu and motioned to him.

Liu Dafu took a sip of water meaningfully and asked tentatively: "Do you still want to buy land?"

Qin Yao nodded, feeling a little suspicious, "What? Do you want to sell it?"

Liu Dafu sighed "Alas" and did not answer Qin Yao's question directly. He looked sad and said slowly:
"Everything is fine. We have been attacked by insects, which makes life more and more difficult for everyone. Now we are seeing chaos outside. If the Mansion Examination comes in May, wouldn't it happen just in time?"

"The scientific examination is the most important thing. It concerns a lifetime. If something goes wrong and delays the scientific examination, your whole life will be over."

Speaking of this, Liu Dafu sighed again, looking very worried.

Qin Yao raised the corner of her mouth and lowered it again. She was looking for a bodyguard for her son.

But if you exchange it for land, the deal is really good.

Presumably, Liu Dafu also knew that the relationship between them was not good enough to persuade her to help just by talking.

Moreover, when she wanted to buy land at the end of last year, he didn't give her any face to sell it.

Qin Yao remembered that at that time, she asked the clan leader to help her act as a middleman.

But in the end it was not settled.

Qin Yao met Liu Dafu's eyes for two seconds, ignored the expectation in his eyes, looked away at Dalang and Siniang who were washing dishes in the courtyard, and asked uncertainly: "Is it chaotic outside?"

Liu Dafu nodded fiercely, "It's chaotic, the spring plowing hasn't even ended yet, there are beggars everywhere, even the whole village is out."

His family didn't have much business and relied on the fruits, vegetables and food produced in the fields, so occasionally they would go to the county restaurant to deliver seasonal fruits and vegetables.

The last time I came back from the county town, I was blocked by a family of beggars, who forced me to beg for food.

Liu Gong was the only one delivering the food, so he couldn't hold his nerve at all.

In the end, he had to give up a bag of snacks that he was going to take home for the children and was able to escape.

When he returned home and told his family, Liu Dafu immediately thought of his second son Liu Li, who would go to Fucheng to take the main examination in May.If something happened to him on the way to the exam, and he, a scholar, couldn't resist this kind of stalking, wouldn't it lead to trouble?

These beggars are still polite now, but if they go on for a while, they may not be so.

Where did the robbers come from?

Liu Dafu has lived for most of his life, how can he not know this clearly?
Immediately I thought of finding a protective plaque for Liu Li.

It just so happened that Liu Ji was going to Fucheng to take the exam. Isn't it a coincidence?

Liu Dafu was sure that Qin Yao would definitely accompany Liu Ji to Fucheng. As soon as he had time, he immediately came to Qin Yao to take Liu Li with him.

Anyway, there is no difference between giving one as a gift or two as a gift.

With her strength, it's safe!
Qin Yao thought to herself that you quite understand the market.

Qin Yao asked directly, "What's the price?"

Liu Dafu: "Friendship price."

Qin Yao's eyelids drooped, "How many exactly?"

Liu Dafu reached into his arms and took it out again. A complete land deed was gently placed on the table, "Ten acres, 90 taels."

Qin Yao felt happy and reached out to get it, but Liu Dafu suddenly pressed Tian De and added hurriedly:

"You have to ensure that my Liu Li walks into the examination room intact and returns home safely."

"You must not favor one over the other. I only care about the life and death of your Liu Ji, but not the life and safety of my Liu Li."

Qin Yao took his hand away from the field deed, held up the small field deed and looked at it again and again to confirm that it was genuine and correct. She smiled lightly and said, "You can rest assured that I will do things safely."

After that, he returned the land deed to him and said, "I will send my children to school tomorrow. Let's go to the county town and change the household head on the land deed."

The land transaction had to be registered with the government, but Liu Dafu readily agreed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both satisfied.

After seeing off Liu Dafu, Qin Yao closed the door. When she turned around, the four Dalang brothers and sisters appeared in front of her in a row according to height.

Dalang asked in disbelief: "Aunt Yao, Master Fu is willing to sell the land to us?"

Erlang was thinking about the price he just heard, "Is it 90 taels per mu? Only [-] taels per acre?"

Sanlang and Siniang only cared about one thing. They frowned with identical furry brows and asked, "Auntie, are you going to be away for a long time again?"

Qin Yao answered the first two questions one by one, then smiled and shrugged, "Yeah, I'm going on a long trip."

"Your father is going to Fucheng to take part in the main examination. The journey is long and may be dangerous, so I have to send him there."

Liu Dafu's guess was not wrong. She indeed planned to personally escort Liu Ji to Fucheng.

Liu Ji is the stock she invested in. Before the cost is recovered, she still needs to maintain it.

The twins immediately hugged one of Qin Yao's arms and said they didn't want her to be away for so long.

But I also know that daddy’s affairs are very important. If one of them can get a big kiss from Qin Yao, everything will be fine again.

Qin Yao picked up Siniang with one hand and held Sanlang with the other, taking them to the children's room and coaxing them to sleep.

Each of the two little ones leaned on half of Grandma's shoulders and listened to her talk about a "magic novel" about a mutant tiger fighting a giant piranha at night.

Speaking of the gloomy and bloody place, Dalang and Erlang, who were listening, stiffened and their eyes widened.

Can't sleep, can't sleep at all!
